New Squid Game trailer teases third and final season
Following up from a teaser trailer released in early May, Netflix has just dropped a new main trailer for the upcoming third and final season of the hit series Squid Game.
The final season of the global phenomenon is set to premiere on Jun 27 on the streaming service and based on the new trailer released on Sunday (Jun 1), it promises to be a thrilling and emotional finale, with high stakes, plot twists and new games.
The trailer opens with the haunting children's rhyme "Knock, knock, who is it?" as horrified players hide behind the towering legs of the iconic Young-hee doll – the deadly giant from season 1's Red Light, Green Light game.
This time, however, the game takes on an even more sinister turn. Instead of an open field, it's set in a room filled with colourful illustrations. At the centre stands the eerie Young-hee doll holding a rope, teasing deadly new challenges such as jump rope.
Gi-hun is also seen screaming in anguish, 'Why didn't you kill me? Why did you let me live?', as he grapples with guilt at the death of his best friend, Jung Bae, during the deadly rebellion that occurred in season 2.
The trailer builds up to a powerful climax with Gi-hun clad in a sleek black suit, seemingly stepping into a final confrontation with the Front Man, who asks the question: "Number 456, do you still have faith in people?"

Japan PM Ishiba vows to ‘energise' South Korea cooperation under new leader Lee
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that 'it would be good if we could hold a Japan-South Korea summit in the near future'.

Spats over territory and a bitter dispute over Japan's use of forced labour during its decades-long 20th-century occupation of the Korean peninsula have long strained ties between the two neighbours. But the countries became closer under South Korea's disgraced former leader Yoon Suk Yeol, including through three-way talks with joint ally the United States. 'This year marks the 60th anniversary of the normalisation of diplomatic relations between Japan and Korea,' Mr Ishiba told reporters in Tokyo. 'With President Lee Jae-myung, I would like to energise cooperation between Japan and South Korea as well as between Japan, the United States and South Korea.' Mr Ishiba added that 'it would be good if we could hold a Japan-South Korea summit in the near future'. Mr Lee won a snap election held six months after a disastrous attempt to declare martial law by South Korea's ex-president Yoon plunged the country into political chaos. 'There are various public opinions inside South Korea' towards Japan, Mr Ishiba said. Mr Lee has previously taken a harder line towards the country than Yoon, including saying that the ex-president was 'submissive' to Japan, according to Yonhap news agency. 'The new president has made some statements in the past. But during the election campaign, he also said that Japan is an important partner and that he loves the Japanese people,' Mr Ishiba said. 'We will strengthen our ties with South Korea by opening our hearts and minds and engaging in active exchanges with South Korea,' he added.

Japan's service sector growth slows in May, PMI shows
TOKYO :Growth in Japan's service-sector activity slowed in May on weaker demand, offering little to mitigate falling factory activity and resulting in a near-zero growth for business overall, a private sector survey showed on Wednesday. The final au Jibun Bank Japan Services purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 51.0 in May from 52.4 in April, although it was higher than flash 50.8. An index reading above the 50.0 threshold indicates growth and a reading below indicates contraction. New business growth in the service sector eased to its slowest pace since November, while employment growth in services was the weakest rate since December 2023, the survey showed. Service-sector managers' confidence in their future outlook improved to a three-month high in May from April's four-year low, but the overall level stayed weaker than the post-pandemic average, according to the survey. "Concerns over the outlook often stemmed from uncertainty over future global demand, as well as labour shortages and rising costs," said Annabel Fiddes, Economics Associate Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, which compiled the survey. "The latter was highlighted by a further steep increase in input prices, to suggest that official inflation data will remain strong." Input price inflation eased from April's 26-month high but remained elevated, with managers citing higher costs for energy, labour and transport, prompting service providers to continue raising their output charges roughly in line with April's pace. The slowdown in services, combined with a continued decrease in manufacturing, left overall private sector activity stagnant with the composite PMI dropping to 50.2 in May from 51.2 in April. "The weaker demand picture suggests that the private sector may struggle to bounce back in the near-term, and could translate into more cautious staff hiring in the months ahead," Fiddes said.
